One of the more interesting films coming out of the quagmire that is the DCEU is Gotham Sirens, a spin-off to 2016’s Suicide Squad.  I never actually reviewed Suicide Squad so I’ll just say very quickly that it was a garbage movie and I didn’t like it.  I know some people enjoyed it, but honestly, I thought Batman v. Superman was the better film.  I know those are fighting words on a lot of the Internet so I’ll temper that critique by saying I, along with the rest of geek culture, really liked Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. 

Harley Quinn’s always been a complicated character to get right, mainly because she walks along that thin problematic line between manic pixie villain and domestic abuse victim, but in more recent years she’s backed off from that point.  A lot of that has come from her newly out and proud romance with Poison Ivy, which will be the core focus of the Harley-centric spin-off Gotham Sirens.  Catwoman will also be on hand because we needed a third lead but now we’ve finally gotten an idea of who our villain is- Black Mask.

As we ramp up for the fall premieres, some details have been filtering through about Fox’s first big step towards superheroes on the TV Gotham. We’ve learned ‘90s Batman supporting character Azrael will be on the second season along with classic Batman love interest Silver Saint Claire. Additionally, we know there are a few mystery roles and the promise of more Joker this season. For those who don’t know, Gotham is a Batman prequel show set immediately after the deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne revolving around Jim Gordon. While season one stayed mostly in prequel territory, albeit leaning very hard on the idea that a lot of Gotham’s crazy people will have children who follow explicitly in their footsteps, the season finale hinted at greater changes to come. As such, I came up with a fairly large list of heroes, villains, and crime bosses/organizations I think should or could show up on Gotham in the coming seasons. Let’s start with the villains:
